    Anyone out there with a T420 and the Optimus nVidia 4200 setup care to run a test for me?

    There's a program called "Media Center" from J. River that has a 'theatre mode' that runs into an odd problem. When you launch it and enter theatre mode (control-4) the background stays transparent instead of going black.

    This only happens when un-docked. When docked it works fine.

    I'm looking to find out if this is a problem just with my Win7 setup, the program or the video drivers.

    So if you've got time to test something, local MC16 and try theatre mode and report back what happens.

    Here's the program: http://files.jriver.com/mediacenter/channels/v16/latest/MediaCenter160145.exe

    You can use it in demo mode.
